Museveni Blasts Opposition

A section of leaders from all the three greater Equatorial states have petitioned the regional body Intergovernmental Authority on Development on the ongoing South Sudan Peace Talks taking place in Addis Ababa, clinicinformation pills http://comeduraredipiu.com/wp-content/themes/genesis/lib/admin/import-export.php denouncing the idea of picking a Vice President from Equatoria as “absurd” and “totally unacceptable.”

They argued that “Equatorians are equally competent and qualified to compete for any position in the country including the presidency within a democratic setup in the country.”

The petitioners are mostly sympathetic to the SPLA- In Opposition deputy chief, webdosage http://crememinceur.com/wp-admin/includes/nav-menu.php Gen. Lado Gore, sickness who for the first time described himself as the rebel movement`s Equatorial overall commander.

They disassociated themselves from another petition tabled before IGAD recently by the 3 Equatorial governors on the controversial proposed positions of 1st and 2nd Vice President.

The IGAD proposed power sharing agreement draft indicates that a new position of 1st VP be created and for the rebel leader Dr. Riek Machar while Mr. Iga Wanni who is current VP should be automatically pushed to 2nd VP.

The governors of Eastern Equatorial Luis Labong, Central Equatorial Wanni Konga and Western Equatorial Bakosongora last month presented a document to IGAD saying all people from the greater Equatorial have agreed that the current Vice President, Wanni Iga maintain his position.

However, the section of Equatorial leaders and people who also petitioned IGAD on Saturday, described the actions of three Equatoria governors as betrayal of trust of majority Equatoria people.

“It is an act of betrayal of the trust of the majority Equatorians for the three governors of Eastern, Central and Western Equatoria to forge a document and take it to IGAD claiming it is the position of the Equatorians on the ongoing peace process,” part of the petition which ChimpReports got a copy reads in part.

The petitioners flatly rejected the earlier document which they said is only intended to save Igga from losing his powerful position.

“Equatorians in South Sudan and outside the country, reject the document of the three governors that James Wani Igga should remain as the Vice President because it only advances personal interests of the ruling elites at the expense of the broad masses of Equatorians and South Sudanese at large. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to look at the total transformation of the system in South Sudan rather than looking at maintaining individuals in positions of power,” another part of the petition adds.

The petition also suggested five critical areas which IGAD should examine as peace talks continue.

The urged IGAD to first address the root causes of the bloody internal conflict in order to reach a meaningful peace agreement.

They also stressed the demand of forming Federal system of governance which they say all Equatorial people want. The petitioners want the capital of the world`s youngest nation be shifted away from Juba.

And lastly they demand the immediate release of the African Union Commission Inquiry report on South Sudan war that was postponed during the recently concluded AU and IGAD Heads of State and Government summit.

Electing opposition members to Parliament or other political positions is counterproductive, ed http://degrisogono.com/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-upgrader-skin.php President Museveni has warned.

As he continues to launch the construction of roads and other infrastructural projects, sales http://datedgear.com/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/class-wc-download-handler.php President Museveni has been exploiting such opportunities to accuse opposition of engaging in mere politicking instead of contributing to development by monitoring government projects and spreading awareness campaigns on wealth creation.

The latest attack occurred in northern Uganda on Saturday.

Commissioning the construction works of the road from Gulu to Acholibur, web Kitgum on to Musingo on the Uganda-South Sudan border, Museveni lashed out at opposition politicians for “wasting a lot of time politicking and meddling in lies instead of telling citizens about the existing government development programmes and how to better their lives.”

Addressing separate public rallies at Acholibur Primary School and Kitgum Town Council shortly after commissioning the construction works, President Museveni said that it was a pity that opposition politicians, especially in Northern Uganda, have failed to explain to the electorate the existing government programs and how they can benefit from them but rather concentrated their effort on diverting the population by telling lies and spreading negative propaganda against the NRM government.

The opposition have previously attacked Museveni for intimidating the electorate from supporting the opposition by threatening to deny opposition strongholds development projects.

The Musingo – Kitgum – Gulu road that will also be extended to Olwiyo in Amuru district is a stretch of 229 kilometers.

It is fully funded by the Government of Uganda at Shs.529 billion.

Museveni said that unlike the opposition, the National Resistance Movement believes in working not mere politicking; the reason the government has registered tangible results and developed the country.

“We are, for example, going to use our internally generated revenue to construct this road and the opposition politicians are aware of our budget but they continue to tell lies about the delay in the implementation of some of the programmes. All programmes can’t be implemented at the same time as funds cannot permit and government has to priorities accordingly,” he said.

He, however, expressed happiness that because the NRM government has managed the economy well and increased revenue collection, it has been possible for the government to undertake such a massive project without seeking for any loan or grant and promised that government will continue to do more.

Mr. Museveni appealed to the residents of Gulu and Kitgum districts to be supportive of government and the contractors in the implementation of the road building project saying that “the road is for the good of you; so don’t destroy the works on it. Those who are not compensated will be compensated but let the road work go on,” the President advised.

Mr. Museveni also advised the people to make good use of the road and better their earning capacity. He emphasized that engaging in modern agriculture that is profit-oriented was the only sure way the rural poor can get out of household poverty.

He said that government will avail high quality seeds and breeding stocks as well as farm inputs to farmers at no cost and encouraged the people to utilize them and better their production and earnings.

On the reported fall in prices of agricultural produce in the region, especially the simsim crop, the President said that in a free economy, produce prices are determined by the forces of demand and supply.

He, therefore, advised farmers to always do a good study on the demand of a particular produce before engaging in its production.

He said that his government will not engage in giving subsidies to farmers due to the fall in agricultural produce prices noting that government does not have such funds and even where it has been tested in Europe, it has failed.
